CARLSBAD, Ca. (27th November 2018) – Upper Deck, the leading sports and entertainment company, announced today that it will produce trading cards and trading card games for the highly coveted James Bond property. In the new agreement with EON Productions, Upper Deck will develop products pulling from a rich collection of films that form the backbone of this uniquely British franchise.
These films have defined the spy genre since the release of Dr. No in 1962, and have served as a cultural touch point in a legacy that maintains popularity into the modern era of cinema.“James Bond is one of the most iconic characters in the history of entertainment,” said Jason Masherah, President of Upper Deck. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to provide a new and unique line of James Bond trading cards and trading card games to fans around the world.”
Upper Deck will provide new ways for fans to enjoy their favourite secret agent.
The first James Bond trading card set will hit hobby stores shelves and the 007Store.com in early 2019, followed by a release on Upper Deck e-Pack™, the company’s patent pending trading card platform.
Additionally, 007 will be introduced to Legendary®, Upper Deck’s critically acclaimed deck-building trading card game, in summer 2019. Players will be able to relive their favourite movie moments while working together to recruit their favourite characters and unravel the nefarious schemes of the most infamous 007 villains.
Presenting the first ever James Bond product from Upper Deck! The James Bond Collection Trading Card Set is a must have for the discerning James Bond Collector.
On average each box will contain 2 Autograph cards, 1 Bond Legacy card and 3 Foil Parallel Cards. Open up a case and you can expect 8 Gold Tinted Acetate Bounty Cards which can be used to obtain a rare Bounty Autograph Card by completing the 50-card Gold Tinted Acetate set!
Each box contains 18 packs, each holding 6 cards for a total of 108 cards per box. The complete trading card set holds 579 cards. I would say "Go Hunting For Those Cards Mr. Bond".

"Counter Display Box"

The counter display box is finished in shiny black with golden lettering, a must have for every serious collector. The counter display box holds 18 packs, each containing 6 cards. In each box you will find at least two Autograph cards, one Bond Legacy card and an assortment of SP, SSP, and foil parallel cards. Here below some information from the Upper deck webpage.

The wrapper is created in a golden foil with black lettering and the UpperDeck logo. The reverse side explains the quantity of the randomly inserted SP, SSP, etc... cards. It also explains what to do to win an insert card.

A lanyard was given as promotion at the 2019 Gen Con in the U.S.A. This convention is one of the largest gathering of tabletop gamers in North America. The lanyard can be purchased through eBay.

The Base set holds 200 cards divided into three tiers. The first tier runs from #1 to #100, the second tier from #101 to #150 covering 50 SP cards, tier three numbered from #151 through #200 are 50 SSP cards. The SSP cards are not easy to get your hands on. The background of each card is the gun barrel printed in grey & white, but for all the cards showing a picture of James Bond (from Sean to Daniel) the picture is in front of the gun barrel creating a border around the actual photograph. The pictures from the other actors are cut from a scene and placed in front of the grey & white gun barrel. The SP cards have a black & white background, again the Bond actors have a border. The SSP cards are Bond Girls printed on a red & white gun barrel. The SSP cards are very difficult to find, so that is raising the price and your bank account getting out of balance.

The second part are 200 parallel cards, the cards numbered from #1 to #100 are Silver Foil Board cards, the cards numbered from #101 to #150 are Rainbow Foil Board cards, the last fifty are the precious Gold Acetate Cards. For those up to the challenge, 2019 Upper Deck 007 James Bond Collection is part of the online incentive program - UD Bounty. Collectors must build the entire 50-card Gold Acetate parallel set to be eligible for exclusive autographs. For that reason, each Gold Acetate card has a scratch code on the reverse. These parallel cards fall about eight per case, so this is not a simple task.

Upper Deck created four different types of Autograph Cards for a total of 88 cards. The first 42 Autograph Cards are personally signed cards only showing the signature. The second set are 37 cards personally signed with an added inscription. The third and the fourth types are the so called SP and SSP autograph cards. The SP cards are numbered from #1 to #99, the SSP cards from #1 to #25. These cards are very hard to find and very expensive.

Autograph Card

Autograph Inscription Card

The pictures displayed on the autograph cards are the same for the autograph cards and for the inscription autograph cards. Some actors only signed with no added inscription, others only signed with an added inscription. See the list below for who signed with or without an inscription. Each card was signed by the actor in the presence of company representative to assure that the autograph is authentic.

Another insert set are the forty Bond Legacy cards. These new cards numbered from #BL-1 to #BL-40 are randomly inserted into 1/18 packs. The set is divided into three tiers. The cards have an oval cutting in the centre where they added some kind of an acetate slide showing a picture of an actor. So the picture is visual on both sides of the card.

Without "Q", there would only have a few James Bond movies, because 007 relies on "Q" inventions. From a gadget loaded Aston Martin DB5 to an exploding Omega wristwatch, Bond has it all. Fifteen Q-Branch cards showing some of "Q's” remarkable inventions to save Bond from his enemies. The cards are numbered from #QB-1 to QB-15 and randomly inserted into 1/12 packs.

The 200 base cards are shown here below. The first 100 cards are easy to collect, the 50 SP cards and the 50 SSP cards are not that easy as they are only inserted into 1/1 pack and 1/3 pack. So even to collect the whole base set is hard to manage. Happy collecting.
